About this event
Our screening on Thursday 10 September will be introduced by Second Run DVD founder Mehelli Modi. Němec’s debut feature is one of the most thrilling and startlingly original works of cinema. Told almost without dialogue, it chronicles the tense and desperate journey of two teenage boys who are trying to stay alive after escaping from a German train bound for a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. Adapted from Darkness Casts No Shadow by Arnošt Lustig, Diamonds of the Night is one of the key early works of the Czechoslovak New Wave. Cast: Ladislav Janský, Antonín Kumbera

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
